+## Research topic and goals
+
+Task-based programming models are a promising approach to exploiting complex
+distributed and heterogeneous systems. Recently, these models have emerged as a
+viable alternative to traditional message-passing and fork-join approaches,
+reflecting the research community's growing interest in their numerous
+benefits. Despite these advantages, the broader adoption within the scientific
+and industrial sectors remains limited. A major barrier is the poor
+interoperability among existing runtime systems, which prevents the development
+of complex applications through the integration of multiple components or
+libraries written in different task-based programming models. Such
+interoperability issues often lead to oversubscription, significantly impairing
+applications’ performance. Maintainability presents another significant challenge within task-based programming models, encountered by projects at varying stages. The relatively modest level of effort anticipated in a future steady-state raises critical questions about the sustainability of support for these models. Can the organization of software, potentially through the utilization of shared code bases for sub-components, facilitate easier maintenance? Such an approach could potentially streamline the support process, thereby enhancing the long-term viability and operational efficiency of task-based systems.
+
+Our project aims to address these challenges by identifying the low-level
+primitives necessary for building efficient and scalable task-based runtime
+systems. Based on these findings, we will develop unified low-level tasking
+interfaces to enhance interoperability among different runtime systems,
+optimizing performance and encouraging broader adoption of task-based
+programming models.
+
+## Visits and meetings
+
+We had a BoF session in the Kobe workshop, where we decided to start this project.
+There are no planned visits yet.
+
+## Impact and publications
+
+* Solve interoperability problems between task-based programming models
+* Increase software development productivity and reach of task-based
+  programming models
+* Research and document needs from higher-level programming systems (Charm++,
+  HPX, Legion, OpenMP, OmpSs, ..) for the task-based execution systems
+* Explore possibility of creating a standard that allows for different use
+  cases currently served,  either via a flexible design or allowing for
+extensions
